A great breakfast or snack recipe to get your kids to eat zucchini!! Naturally sweetened by ripe bananas and pure maple syrup, this bread uses yogurt to make it moist and whole wheat pastry flour for fiber and vitamins. The added blueberries add such a deliciously sweet flavor that’s a must try in your banana bread!
Blueberry Zucchini Banana Bread
Blueberry Yogurt Muffins
These blueberry muffins are great for a hearty breakfast or afternoon snack because they’re filled with good-for-you ingredients such as nutrient-dense whole wheat pastry flour and sprouted oats, protein-rich Greek yogurt, and of course juicy sweet blueberries that are high in antioxidants!
Black Bean + Sweet Bell Pepper Tacos
These vegan bean tacos are my favorite easy weeknight meal because they’re made in under 30 minutes, are high in plant protein, have an entire bell pepper hidden in them, and taste absolutely delicious. My 3 year old can’t get enough of these!
(Hidden Carrot) Chicken Strips
Looking for a way to hide veggies in your kids’ meals? We’ve got you covered with these (Hidden Carrot) Chicken Strips! The great thing about hiding carrots is that the orange color blends right into the breadcrumb mixture. The carrots add a wonderful sweetness to the chicken that you can even supplement with a honey drizzle (or if your kids are honey addicts like mine, they can even use the honey as a dipping sauce rather than ketchup!)
Roasted Spaghetti Squash Chickpea Bolognese
Spaghetti squash is a such a great nutrient-dense vegetable that’s low in calories and high in vitamins and minerals. It’s a wonderful substitute for regular spaghetti and is extremely kid-friendly (and they don’t even know how good it is for them!!). Paired with either our vegan chickpea Bolognese sauce, or my husband’s turkey or chicken Bolognese sauce (also linked in the recipe), it makes a complete and nutritious meal with plenty of leftovers for the week.
Banana Cream Pie Cupcakes
This family-favorite cupcake is baked with wholesome clean ingredients that make this treat great for an afternoon snack or even breakfast! Fruity ripe bananas and pure maple syrup naturally sweeten this gluten-free cupcake that’s spiced with the warm flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and aromatic vanilla.
Lunchbox Inspiration- “Cauliflower Mac & Cheese Bowl”
Nothing makes life easier than semi-homemade meals! Today’s lunchbox consists of cauliflower mac and cheese, cheddar broccoli quinoa muffins, and carrot cake breakfast cookies!
Crispy Smashed Dill Potatoes
The perfect side dish that’s so simple to make, yet produces such mouth-watering flavor. Roasted potatoes, caramelized onions, and aromatic dill come together to create a dish that’s loaded with fiber, B-vitamins, iron, and potassium.
Vegan Rainbow Rolls
Vegan rainbow rolls are a great way to pack a bunch of veggies into one meal. They’re paired with aromatic herbs, protein rich chickpeas, and a creamy sweet peanut butter dipping sauce. This recipe is great for meal prepping because all the chopping of veggies + fruit can be done beforehand!
Citrus Herb Quinoa Salad
Quinoa is one of our favorite grains to meal prep because it’s a great source of plant protein, is gluten free, high in fiber, and contains loads of vitamins. It’s also super easy to meal prep + freeze! This meal combines healthy fats from creamy avocado, the aromatic fresh flavors of dill, salty feta, cool + crisp cucumbers, and sweet tomatoes in this wow-factor salad.
PB&J Muffins
Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins 🥜. Fun fact: although my kids are obsessed with peanut butter, they HATE jelly. A great mom hack to get around that is to mash up raspberries in its place, and the combo is just as delicious! These muffins can be made with or without egg to accommodate our vegan friends (the middle may sink a bit but still as delicious!), and are dairy free + gluten free as well. To our friends with nut allergies, sunflower seed butter can also be used (just be aware that when sunflower seed butter is baked, it may turn green when it reacts with the baking soda!)
Watermelon Salad with Feta
The bold flavors of sweet watermelon, refreshing mint, and tangy lime pair so well together for a light summery meal. Easy to meal prep, all it takes is some washing and cutting of fruits, spinach, and cheese to prepare this fun main or side dish. It’s one of our favorite picnic meals!
